Baltimore Woman 'Misplaced' Mega Millions Ticket

The question on a lot of people's minds is why Mirlande Wilson, the McDonald's employee who the Mega Millions jackpot in Maryland, hasn't produced the winning ticket.

She explained during an interview with a local television station on Thursday.

"I misplaced it," Wilson told Washington's News4.

She said she did not make up the story and maintained that she hid the ticket at the McDonald's in Milford Mill, where she works.

Wilson allegedly bought Mega Millions lottery tickets for herself and a pool of coworkers. She said she also bought a ticket separately—the winning ticket.

Wilson, reportedly from Haiti and the mother of seven children, held a  with her attorney, Edward Smith, who said his client has "a legitimate claim."

The Maryland Lottery held its own press conference Thursday reporting that no one had filed a legitimate claim or come forward with the winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold Friday at a Milford Mill 7-Eleven.

"We will continue to wait for that person to come in," said Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino.

Three Mega Millions tickets were sold that could win the $656 million jackpot, which was the largest in the game's history, according to the Huffington Post. One was sold at the Milford Mill 7-Eleven (at 8014 Liberty Rd.) in Baltimore County, the Maryland Lottery has reported. Two others were sold in Illinois and Kansas. 

A Glen Burnie man reportedly  before finding out his friends produced a fake ticket to trick him.

Since Monday, that she has the winning ticket.
